The Animal Medical Center’s world-renowned Cancer Institute is seeking a board‑certified (ACVIM or ECVIM) medical oncologist to join our dedicated oncology team, which includes medical, radiation, and surgical oncology. A leading animal hospital with a 115‑year legacy, we offer specialty, emergency, and primary care to over 55,000 patient visits annually. As a mission‑driven non‑profit, we provide animals with the gold standard in patient care while emphasizing lifelong learning, postgraduate intern and resident training, and scholarship. We are dedicated to supporting excellence in clinical practice and post‑graduate teaching, ensuring rewarding careers, and assuring the health and safety of all hospital employees and clients.
About The Cancer Institute Modeled after progressive, patient‑centered human cancer hospitals, the Animal Medical Center’s Cancer Institute is a revolutionary medical center created to provide integrative and comprehensive care for pets diagnosed with cancer. This innovative design enables our staff to deliver on the Institute’s core mission – to care for more animals, focus on early detection, maximize the amount of time pet parents can spend with their beloved pets while maintaining a good quality of life, and work toward a cure through advanced research.
Our state‑of‑the‑art Cancer Institute has recently been renovated, and the hospital underwent a major expansion and completed a renovation to add 11,000 square feet of new clinical and client space while simultaneously renovating 26,000 existing feet to ensure AMC remains at the forefront of veterinary medicine and make way for new and expanded services.
The Cancer Institute consists of three ACVIM board‑certified oncologists, one ACVR board‑certified radiation oncologist, and one ACVS board‑certified Fellow in Surgical Oncology, three residents in medical oncology, two residents in radiation oncology, one specialty intern in medical oncology, and 32 rotating general interns.
Supporting services to the Cancer Institute include high‑field MRI, 64‑slice CT with advanced reconstruction capabilities, and interventional radiology. Additionally, the AMC has an on‑site IDEXX laboratory including on‑site clinical and anatomical pathologists with stat cytology capabilities.
The AMC is equipped with a new Elekta Infinity Linac system with electron and 6‑MV photon capability equipped with a 6‑degree HexaPOD couch and a cone‑beam CT for IMRT, VMAT and SRS and for 4DCT respiratory gating. We are also equipped with the most updated version of the Monaco computer treatment planning system licensed for all 3D IMRT, VMAT and SRS planning as well as for Electron Monte Carlo planning. Our CT couch is equipped with an iBEAM evo CT overlay table for proper CT simulation imaging to match the Linac couch. The Radiation Oncology department is also equipped with a Strontium probe for the treatment of small surface lesions (eg feline nasal planum SCC, feline cutaneous MCT and avian uropygial SCC).
The AMC offers a unique hybrid of academia and clinical practice, that creates a collegial environment within the hospital and promotes inter‑departmental consultations and cohesive patient care. In addition to our Cancer Institute, the Animal Medical Center is home to boarded specialists in over 20 services and specialties including avian and exotic pet medicine, cardiology, dermatology, emergency and critical care, internal medicine, interventional radiology and endoscopy, neurology, ophthalmology, pathology, primary care, radiology, rehabilitation and sports medicine, and surgery.
